The Young Women’s Leadership Institute (YWLI) is a feminist centre of excellence where adolescent girls and young women, aged between 11-35 years, are equipped with knowledge and skills, which enable them to be transformative leaders.

Since its inception and registration in 2002, YWLI has developed a feminist leadership curriculum for adolescent girls, led in creating safe spaces through unconventional feminist platforms, and embraced and collaborated with embryonic groups to champion change and elevate the voices of young women.

Some innovative programmes and approaches that facilitate empowerment and development of leadership among young women that have been used by YWLI include:A Bi-annual Feminist Leadership Institute ,Self-empowerment sessions ,Feminist Internships, and Feminist Leadership Training.
